Features

Automated User Lifecycle Management

Managing the growing number of users and applications in your environment doesn’t have to be nearly as hard, manual or time consuming as it is. Fully automate the complete user lifecycle including onboarding, edits, moves, changes, disables, and deletes for all users to all systems.

Contingent User Lifecycle Management

With the growing population of temporary users needing access to your digital systems, it is imperative that you address their access and authorization with the same rigor as your full-time students and staff. RapidIdentity is the only full service IAM solution that can automate the onboarding and offboarding of contingent user groups such as substitutes, parents, short-term students, contractors, and temporary workers directly out of the box. Our solution enables you to delegate and automate the entire process for business users while providing IT with the oversight and controls needed to prevent the unintentional creation of orphaned accounts.

Secure Single Sign-On (SSO)

Quickly and securely deploy cloud-based systems, such as Google Apps and Office 365, to an entire school population, including administrators, faculty and students. Connect to all SAML-enabled cloud-based applications. RapidIdentity reduces help desk costs, saves instructional time, and keeps students in a learning mindset.

Personalized Application SSO Portal

Only give users visibility into the applications and resources their attributes and roles authorize them to use.

Self-Service Password Reset

Free-up IT and help desk resources from low value tasks, such as password resets and synchronization, with our self-service password reset management solution. Provide tighter security and increase end-user productivity by eliminating the delays typically associated with typical support. RapidIdentity password reset, single-sign-on, and portal are all device agnostic.

Teacher Delegation and Workflows

Stop manually shepherding hundreds of requests, and instead leverage our workflow engine to streamline approvals and authorizations. Delegate authorization requests to teachers and staff, rather than relying on your overburdened IT Administrators and provide increased service levels without increasing staff.

Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication

Passwords are going extinct. The good news is RapidIdentity supports a broad range of standard and new authentication methods, including Google Authenticator, SMS, token, and even biofactors.

Integration with PeopleSoft, Skyward, Aspen, Infinite Campus and other leading platforms.

Audit Trail for Compliance and Reporting

Truly ensuring student data privacy takes much more than just checking boxes on a list. RapidIdentity consolidates system access and control, making it easier to audit all IAM related events, i.e. provisioning, deprovisioning, re-certifications, workflow approvals and requests, logins, etc. Our reporting tools make it possible to conduct more frequent compliance audits that evaluate access rights to your systems with your established governance rules and policies.
